On Wednesday evening last the Free Baptist church in this village was crowded to witness the marriage of one of the favorite young ladies connected with the church, Miss Florence A. Blackman, eldest daughter of Cyrus Blackman Esq. to Mr. Alonzo C. Wakefield, one of the substantial young farmers of Orange, Mass. The church upon this occasion was elaborately decorated with flowers, and in front of the desk suspended from a beautiful arch was the marriage bell, to which the happy pair marched to the music of the wedding carol from the organ. The ceremony was beautifully and quickly performed by the pastor Rev. W.R. Stone and after the congratulations of friends, which were many, the bride and groom retired to the residence of Mr. Blackman where they found kind friends had unexpectedly sent a large number of rare and beautiful resents. On Monday next the happy pair will leave for their New England home. Mis Blackman will be missed from the household which she has so long graced by her presence, and in the choir where she was a leading alto singer, and in the church generally where, by her kind disposition and good works, she has endeared herself to all. We wish this newly wedded pair a prosperous journey and a life of happiness in which success shall ever attend them. [Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, Sept. 7, 1878]
